Yahoo Click fraud class action lawsuit
In a hypothetical lawsuit, suppose a class of people had bought a car. The manufacturer had said it had 21 cubic feet of storage. A class action lawsuit is brought claiming it has only 20.85 cubic feet of storage. Without admitting wrongdoing, the manufacturer and the class action lawyers agree that the affected people would get a coupon worth $50 toward their next car from that manufacturer and the lawyer gets $5 million. Maybe only 1% of the people actually use the coupon. Thus it cost the company 50 cents per use to agree to this.

The Universe, Australia and musicNikina - Which means that if you import a single grain of sand into Australia, then the Australian deserts will become one with the universe.
brenn1- I don't know if the universe is ready to handle that
Nikina- Just imagine all those cosmic kangaroos you'd get.
brenn1- sounds like a band: Cosmic Kangaroos
Nikina- Not a very good band, though.
brenn1- most aren't

Annoying neighbours oughtn't live next door to clangerVennn we had a neighbour who kept calling the SPCA out to us coz our cat was old!
clanger that doesn't make sense, why would they do that?
Vennn it was really annoying, we'd this very old scrappy looking but quite happy cat who was a bit wrinkly and shabby around the edges
Vennn but if you're a 17 year old cat that's allowed
Vennn she thought we were mistreating him by not having him put to sleep!
Vennn so she kept phoning the SPCA
Vennn they eventually suggested getting her put to sleep
Nikina And did you?
Vennn well, i don't think we'd be allowed
clanger her being the cat or the neighbour?

A purely British pun
<peterre> hmm, Asda time
<Nikina> A man has to do what a man Asda do.
<Nikina> It'll probably be lost in translation to American.
<Nikina> "A man has to do what a man Wal-Mart do" just doesn't work.
<malton> no.. that really doesn't work

Happy Birthday, Wenda !!!
.
So young, so spry
But never shy
So nice, so bright
A pure delight
She laughs, she cries
She never lies
She walks, she cleans
The dirt unseen
So much to say
So much to do
So have your way
On your Birthday!
